(Here it is!)

Shashi pulled into the docking bay. "Not here then?"

Rihe parked in the docking bay next to hers. Is it just me, Rihe said nervously Or do you sense... nothing. Never mind.

Mika walked by the docking bay and looked around, she was supposed to be picking something up for the man who 'owned' her

Rihe jumped out of his ship, sealing the hatch as he left. He walked to the enterance in a rush, so much of one in fact that he ran into a brown haired girl in the doorway.

"Sorry." he said, giving her an embarrassed smile.

"no it's my fault sorry...." Mika replied softly and shyly before she headed over to the worker and picked up a box from them, she nodded and left

Trey looked back at the girl he had bumped into, and continued on his way to the main market, with his scavenged parts bag over his shoulder.

Mika headed to her 'home', which was pretty big surprisingly, she walked inside and placed the box on the desk of the guy "the fridge needs to be filled... get more food" he said as he mowed down on the last of the food "as you wish..." she said softly as she left for the market

(wow... he's a pig XD)

|: (:) ----yup, Total Pig!)

Rihe finally set up a small stand, and had begun to fill it up with his merchandise, hanging it from walls and the ceiling.

"Hm, never thought I'd be merchanting... Well, if it pays the bills..."

Mika walked along and went from the normal stands, they gave her alittle extra because of her 'owner' she thanked them grasefully and continued walking on, she spoted Rihe's stand and walked over "uhm excuse me sir, what is it that your selling?" she asked in a soft low voice

"Bits and bobs." he said with his back turned "Mainly ship parts, but I've got some crops, and-" He had turned around, and immediately recognized her "Haven't I seen you before?"

"no unless you've vistited my master before" Mika said slightly lieing but telling the truth at the same time

Rihe smiled. "Wait, I ran into you in the docking bay." He said, the event coming back to him "I never got to ask your name."

"oh yeah.... my.. name...." Mika began but she stopped "uhm so what do you have thats a low price but good quality" she said with a soft smile

"Definitely." said Rihe, polishing a small computer circuit "So, what brings you to my glorious store?" he said sarcastically, looking around at the hack-job merchandise stand.

"jsut browsing really" mika said softly as she looked at the stand "it's not that bad... just need to be fixed up a little .. but i'm sure a strong guy like you cna fix it" she said with a smile

Trey laughed. "Please, I'm just a merchant." He said, smiling "And all this stuff was in top quality when I... er... found it."

"well you have to start some where" Mika said with a smile, she turned and was about to leave before she said "it was nice seeing you again, you should drop by, my master has some good items" she added before she left, she was smiling and walked back to the house

Rihe smiled as he watched her leave. "She's a good kid." he muttered to himself, returning to his merchandise.

(Time skip?)

(sadly i must leave now.... but sure time skip ^^)

Mika was cooking another meal for her master he eats more then 2 familes.... she thought sourly as she cooked

7 hours later, Rihe was walking up to the room he had tracked his friend from the market to.

He approached the door cautiously, wondering what he would find inside. Hesitantly, he pulled back his knuckles, and rapped on the door once.

(Well, I guess I have to go too. See ya tomorrow!)

(Back!)

(yo!)

Mika walked to the front door and said "hello?" but she didn't look a tthe person she was too busy listening for the timer to go off

('Sup!)

Rihe looked around the house, a flthy pigsty of a place with membrosa cans scattered across the floor.

"Yeah... I was told to talk to the person who lives here about some equipment. May I see him?" Rihe didn't get a good look of the person who had opened the door.

"please come this way...." mika said as she led the stranger into the house, she kicked a few of the cans out of the way and led the stranger in front of a big wooden door, she knocked 3 times "come in.." a deep voice bellowed. Mika opened the door

"Uh..." Rihe said, the oder of a bantha's back end hitting his nose "Yes, I'm here because I hear that you deal equipment. Is that true?"

"ah... well please come in come in and make yourself at home.... Mika where is that food!" he said then yelling at mika "i'll get it sir...." Mika began before she got cut off "and clean up that pig sty out there now!" he then added "yes...sir..." mika said before she closed the door leaving Rihe and her master alone.

Mika went and cleaned up all the can then started making tea and the rest of the food.

"So... is that your slave?" Rihe asked, biting his lip as he realized it was the girl he had met in the market.

"yes, i bought her at a high price from a underground market... so you say you came here....... for what exactly?" the man asked as he turned around in the chair facing Rihe, his hair was short but all of him was well fat and pudgy.

Mika sighed as she poured the tea into cups and she placed the tea and food onto a large trey and headed to the room

"Thanks." said Rihe, offering as friendly of a smile as he could bring himself to give.

He turned back to the man. "Are you sure? Even if i used this?" Rihe pulled a large chunk of 100-credit chips out of his pocket.

(?? not posting becuase i have no clue what you just wrote...

(Rihe is just bribing Mika's owner to give him Mika. To set her free, of course.)

(ohhh ok)

Mika walked in and lowered the tray to give Rihe his tea after giving her 'master' his food and drink, the man looked at the money with a raised eye brow but didn't speak until mika left the room

(And he said...?)

(Reih... Rihe need to take the tea before

Rihe took a sip of his tea, waiting for the pudgy man to answer.

(Does he have a name?)

( i never thought of one...)

Mika left and went back to cleaning, the man cleared his voice "you know... as much as that is.... i'm afraid i can't sell her to you... she has already been offered as a trophy in an upcoming tornoment... along side many others from her kind " he said as he looked at Rihe

"Her kind?" asked Rihe, leaning back in his seat.

"yeah the kind that's sent from master to master.... they've been trained to do what ever their new master tells them" He said as he mowed down on some of the fried chicken looking meat, he rubbed the grase off his finger onto his shirt as he grabed another peice

Rihe cringed at the disgusting sight.

"Really..." he said, thinking of Mika's soft voice and passive behavior "So, she's been moved around a lot?"

"most likely, the crazy old goat i bought her from told me she knew how to cook and clean and everything a maid does.... then something about knowing how to fight but, i didn't really pay attetion to it" He said as he finished antoher peice

Rihe looked at the door Mika had gone through. "I... have to go to the bathroom." he said, looking for an excuse to meet with Mika.

"second door to your left...." the man said as he kept eating.

Mika sighed as she scrubbed the floor hard stupid coloured drinks.... you all ways stain the carpet!! she thought angerly

Rihe closed the door behind him, going into the room where Mika was scrubbing the floor.

He made sure no one was listening, and crouched down next to her.

"Listen, I don't know your name, and I don't know where yo came from, but I do know that you're miserable here."

Rihe thought for a second before finishing his statement, weighing the options.

"Come with me."

Mika looked at Rihe "sir, i'm sorry but i can't unless my master chooses to release me, i shall not go.... and who says i'm miserable?" she asked looking at him like he was insane

Rihe looked at the ceiling in frusteration. "I just met your master. He's a Jerk. And he doesn't HAVE to release you for you to leave!"

"no.. sir please go back to what ever busness-" mika began before a yell cut her off again "mika get in here now!" he shouted, she sighed and headed into the room and came back with the tray full of bones and extra stuff that he didn't eat, she placed it in the trash and started cleaning in the sink

Rihe sighed, looking at her sadly. "Are you happy here? Yes or No?"

"no... but this is how my life was ment to be.. it was planed to be like this since birth" Mika said with a sigh as she continued to wash the dishes

"Who says you have to go by someone else's plan for your life?" said Rihe, making sure Mika's owner wasn't watching.
